Talking Blue tooth earbuds?

Do they make some ear buds that will fit under a helmet and what powers them? Wireless ? I have a roadking with a full helmet and use the iPhone ear buds. They work ok. Ideas?

Get the Sena SMH 10. You will not regret it.

If you are stuck on ear buds; I have a pair of Plantronics Backbeat 2s that I use for running and they work well under the helmet but they only have about 3 hours of play time.

I think I looked at the plantronics a year ago. The short battery life will not work. I am all day rider and some tunes in the brain bucket make the ride a little sweeter. I don't ride with them that loud, I just get tired of running the phone all day. This is not a big deal. It's the little things sometimes. Thanks bluraven.

I use the Sena SMH10 also. I have listen to it all day and didn't charge it overnight. The next day after a couple of hours, it went dead. If you have a touring bike or a power port, you can recharge it while you ride. It's also good with bike to bike communications.

My hearing aids are bluetooth. I listen to Pandora from my phone all the time.

I use my LG Bluetooth wireless earbuds from Verizon. Last ~ 8ish hours, hangs around neck, easy to answer phone or change songs on phone player. Love the things. No more wires to phone.

I don't use them when riding but the LG tone Pro is good. You can get Best buy to price match it for 49 bucks. lasts about 10 hours and with the app, it'll lower the music, read your text messages to you as they come in and turn the music back up.

I use wired earbuds and they work very well under the lid, just put the player (phone or ipod) in a jacket pocket and route the wire down your back, up under your arm to an inside pocket works great for me. I use Shure SE535-E best sound quality you will ever hear, amazing sound reproduction and they are like wearing ear plugs to boot, just have to fit yourself with the right ear inserts on the stem of the earbud.
